Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage by Rachel E. Gross

The excitement around this book has been palpable. For fans of popular science writing, for those of you who liked ‘Bonk’ by Mary Roach or ‘Breasts’ by Florence Williams, this book takes you on a journey through seamless storytelling and insightful research about everything to do with the female reproductive system. At turns lyrical and hilarious and maddening, stories about biologists growing artificial ovaries to counter the cascading health effects of menopause and urologists remapping the clitoris to fill in crucial gaps in female sexual anatomy make up a calvacade of brilliant writing not only about the female body, but all bodies.
